Review of New Rose Hotel (1999) by Chuck L — 16 Feb 2005

New Rose Hotel, a movie by the director of Bad Lieutenet and King of New York starring Christopher Walken dancing and hamming it up which is always good William DaFoe also give a good performance and Asia Argento gives a very sexy performance.

its about business espianoge where Walken and Dafoe use Argento to seduce a top scientist away from some company. Walken has some great lines, but the plot falls apart in the last twenty minutes and it feels like they didnt know how to end the movie and they just show a bunch of flash backs of stuff that happened in the movie.

its worth a watch for Walken alone, and Dafoe and Argento are little added bonuses. funny thing is this is a sci-fi movie set in the near future. the technology they use isn't to far off from what we have today just slightly more advance video cell phones, other than some small things you wouldn't even notice it was a sci-fi film.

I wouldnt have if it weren't in the sci-fi section at Hollywood Video.
